Congratulations to the DGN Winter Guard for their strong performance at the Niles North High School competition on February 2, 2013. The team's performance last Saturday was their strongest to date, and improved their score an impressive 9 points. They landed just 1 point shy of a State-qualifying score.

Returning to competitive performance after a year off, the 2013 DGN Winter Guard is making steady progress and demonstrating that hard work and dedication do indeed pay off.

It has never been easier to find great recordings of the music we are studying in class. Much (not all) of the literature currently being rehearsed in Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Concert Band, and our Jazz Ensembles will now be included in a Spotify gadget that you can access directly from our band's blog (dgnbands.blogspot.com). Check it out ... and use these recordings as great sonic models!
